Comments for Feds fine St. Martinville woman for ‘frivolous’ lawsuits at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 6 out of 6 comments http://www.theind.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:43:45 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/home/5469#comment-5372 Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch applauds the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for its recent decision to fine a person for repeatedly abusing our civil justice system. While all judges have the power to issue fines against those who abuse our courts and to throw out frivolous cases, this power is rarely used. Its unfortunate that we don't see more courageous decisions such as this. Meritless and unnecessary lawsuits clog up our courts and delay justice for true victims. The abuse is especially egregious in this case because the plaintiff, Mrs. Maureen Greene, is also wasting taxpayers money by forcing public officials and employees to spend time and resources to repeatedly defend against baseless claims. She has reportedly filed more than a dozen lawsuits in recent history in state and federal courts. We applaud those judges who recognized Mrs. Greene's pattern of abuse and took action to stop it. As the court noted in its recent decision, no one should have an "unrestrained license to pursue totally frivolous" suits and appeals. - Reform Louisiana Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:51:12 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5469#comment-5244 AY BIC PEN, I LIKES THE WAY YA TRANSPOSTS MAH WOIDS, TANKS BRAH, AS YA MAY HAS NOTICEE, SOME OH DA PEEPS SLURRIN MOI, CAUSE I NEED HELP WID MAH POSTTESS, I KNOW YA SAID TA CHANGE MAH NAME TA SOUTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN, BUT I WOULD HAVE TA CHANGE MAH NAME TA SOUTHSIDIAN B B GUN , NON ? - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 15 Jan 2010 04:48:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5469#comment-5187 Some folks will just file and file lawsuits hoping that, like mud thrown against a wall, one will stick. the judge ought to start levying fines for serious bucks against the damned lawyers who file the claims for knuckleheads like Greene. - LSU Greg Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:11:06 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5469#comment-5184 PEN of the Southside, you run out of ya daily ration of ink en ya well, whars da rest of da note ?

Though I can't speak for him, I will admit I've heard one Acadiana resident classify St. Martinville as bit of a "refuge" for the mentally disabled. Such outrageous claims include that McIlhenny "stole [their] peppers." Nonsense, I know, but worthy of note. - Pen of the Southside Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:19:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5469#comment-5174 SAINT MARTINVILLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AH REFUGE FOR MENTALLY DISTURBED DUSKIES, CLAIMING MCILLEHENY STOLE DERE PEPPA'S .......... - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN : Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:23:26 +0100
